The ABG is affecting the lives of Indians in a subtly beautiful manner, in many aspects. Hence, I can substantially say that ABG is #BigInMylife.
My health issues started on 2nd September 2010, and a month later I was diagnosed with Tuberculosis. Doctors put me on quarantine for 2 months. I had my 12th board examination and the highly competitive JEE mains in 5 months time. I was underprepared for both the career-shaping examinations. Finally, after a mentally and physically strenuous and exhausting period at the hospital, on 25th December I was discharged but on DOTs course for 6 more months. The situation worsened on 26th January 2011, when my grandfather passed away. It was a big loss for me as I was extremely attached to him. People gave up hopes of me clearing the board exam and they started sympathising with the situation.
Somewhere, I also knew that with only 15 days in hand, clearing the exams was not going to be easy. But then I realized, it was I who had worked and waited for these examinations for 2 long years. I didn’t want to carry forward the failure in the board examination for the lifetime, that too without trying. With immense support from my parents, I recollected myself and started the preparation with determination and a focussed mind.
I had just one task in my mind that I had to clear these examinations under any circumstances. I didn’t give up on them. I think that this perseverance helped me in clearing the board examination with 70.60 per cent.
The entire incident made me mentally tough and imparted a sense of self-belief. Apart from that, I learnt to never lose hope during harsh times and keep myself collected and remain focussed towards the goals. Hard work, perseverance, and determination will never go in vain. In one way or another, it will be beneficial. I immensely believe that I’ve survived through this and I can sail through any other storm, without being broken.
